about

Gooseberry, a coming together of many different sounds that meld indie rock, jazz, and soul, create a sonic landscape that is uniquely theirs. The single "Sleep," being the first offering from the EP, perfectly demonstrates what the group is capable of. The song, designed to feel like falling into anxiety, plays heavily with textures, sounds, and genres -- the track starts off calm, but quickly builds up into a bombastic, riff-heavy track that the band aptly describes as "film noir with fangs."

On "Sleep," the band says, "the story of the song follows one's train of thought when an idea is just out of reach. You search and prowl and dig and strain and yet nothing comes, even when the answer is right in front of your face." An electric, constantly evolving track, "Sleep" creatively blends together the juxtapositions of sounds in a veritable feat achieved solely by the talent and chemistry of the group.

lyrics

It’s early in the morning
Watching the sun wake up
Pale an envious
I’m chasing you down the corridor
I just want to shut my mind off
Why so serious?

Bloodshot eyes and tired sheep
These empty pages, they laugh at me
Holding onto sanity
One more word that rhymes with…

I’m thinking
At least I’m drinking
I don’t want to feel anything
But I feel you all
We’re talking
At least you’re talking
I‘ve got nothing to say
But it’s better that way

Bloodshot eyes and tired sheep
These empty pages, they laugh at me
Holding onto sanity
One more word that rhymes with…
